Immigration

  • Soujourners = here temporarily to work
  • Settlers = here to make new life
  • Fluid boundaries: some expect to go home

and do not, others expect to stay and go

home

  • High proportion of all immigrant groups

(European, Asian, Mexican, Latino) go

home.

  • We are the descendents of those who

stayed.

Counting Immigrant Generations

    1. First = the immigrants
    1. Second = children of immigrants
  • [Some call those who migrate as small children the 1.5 generation.]
    1. Third = grandchildren of immigrants
  • NOTE: Asian immigrant groups count 0 as the immigrants, 1 as the children of the immigrants (the first generation born here). Just a different custom for talking about the same thing.

Second Generation

  • US-born children of immigrants (+ child migrants).
  • Grow up speaking English, going to US schools.
  • Some bilingual, others cannot speak parents’ language.
  • Parents often conservative, expect tighter control over children, view larger society as alien
  • Awareness of being “different,” concerns about fitting in.
  • Torn between parents’ ideas and the larger society.
  • Parent-child conflicts are common.
  • Power reversals if the child translates for the parents.

Third Generation

  • Grandchildren of immigrants, children of the

torn generation

  • Little real contact with grandparents’ culture,

full cultural assimilation to mainstream.

  • Often romantic nostalgia for grandparents’

culture

  • Whites blend in, non-whites experience racial

discrimination, become more “race

conscious”

  • Intermarriage rates generally high
